I hate !@#%!# limpers and minraisers. Does anyone like this play?

[octaveshift]

UTG limp has limped 50% of hands to this point, so it means nothing. Minraiser doubled with AK early, and has played straightforward to this point.

Me don't like. Think the chance of you getting called is way too high.

By the minraiser, you mean?

BUT THEY WERE s00ted!

[pearljam]

im pretty sure this is horrible.

[benza13]

You are getting called here...so unless you are feeling lucky I don't like this move. (although I agree about hating limpers and minraisers)

[11t]

I don't like it.

I would prefer to do this versus 2 chronic weak-tight limpers but you are probably going to get called by the min-raiser if he hasn't done anything too out of line.

I think anyone who minraises an open-limper with these kinds of blinds is very likely to call your push here.

I can't even imagine what this player is thinking when he plays that way but I think he is very likely to call this push. I am not sure your 98s is a huge dog to his hand though. Might be a coinflip.

Ding ding ding.

66.

The people I hate the most are those who limp in EP then call off their stack with low pocket pairs when I push from the button with AK. I just don't get it.

GOD I LOVE BENZA'S AVATAR

Yeah, no real advice, just sorta clicked here and got distracted. DAMN

[lastchance]

IMHO, this is awful. Minraiser is not folding his hand here, and I really don't think you make him drop it. Minraise doesn't = limp or fold, therefore minraise = strength.

Or 66, in this case.

In retrospect, I can see how terrible this was.

I really shouldn't be playing today. I just got back from camping,
and barely slept because of a goup of French-Canadians that were making noise all night (and morning.) I am literally half asleep.

Blah. zzzzzzzzzz

[elonkra]

I just got beat down w/a push against a MP shorstack limper w/AK vs. my Ax.

Don't these people realize that I have no idea they have a monster when they limp????????

[curtains]

Hate it. Again as I stated previously, I have done extremely well in sit and gos without ever resorting to stuff like this. I prefer aggression against random hands, not against a called hand and a hand that's decided to raise something, albeit the minimum.
